Stuff the Truck 2025

Junior League of Cedar Rapids and Foundation 2 Crisis Services are partnering to serve young people aging out of foster care for our fifth annual Stuff the Truck fundraiser!

Join us on Tuesday, December 3rd between 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Craft'd in Downtown Cedar Rapids to 'stuff the truck' with requested basic living supplies to support young people establishing independence after foster care. The suitcases contain basic necessities for independent living - perhaps items that a family member or loved one helped you get for your first apartment. Each suitcase is valued at approximately $700.
